Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5091] [Kompas Productions]

[Magneto98]

Too damn slow development for pulling in 50k a month.

 

[totor83]

Too slow for a real team you mean ...

 

[ScottyLQ]

The first time he broke 25k and reached his final goal was in March of 2018. Prior to that, he had fewer than 8000 Patrons. It took him two years to reach that point.

Edit: I see someone else has already pointed out what I was talking about.

Yes, but what was your point to begin with? That two years making increasing sums up to 25000$ a month was too little?

i dont like this game anymore ;/

 

[ScottyLQ]

I think in this case it's mainly about scale. SS started as "DC trying to teach himself coding" and that still shows. They took his code, improved it and at some point relized that it just wouldn't work and that the whole game needed a proper base. The same goes for the art. At some point they recognized that the game would become unplayable on android if they'd not introduce the rig-system (which basically means to redraw most old stuff) and optimize it as much as possible.

One may blame them for the lack of foresight but I find it hard to not agree with those decisions. If they'd stuck to the old and messy code, the game would probably be completely unplayable by now.

Sure, but this is all assuming that the 4-5 month development times for small updates are because of that issue. Like I said in a previous post, let's hope that really is the case and that this doesn't just become the norm regarding development time for updates.

i have kinda mixed feelings about this release, considering it took 5 months, for some it might be a slap in the face cause basically they took debbies scene and did it with jenny same with the bath blowjob so nothing rly new.

but i do have to say that jenny was my favorite character and the scenes are of a way better quality then before. yes it was stated there are going to be more jenny scenes soon after, but for 5 months we didnt get much. guess thats what you get if you vote for old character overhauls.

in comparison roxxy update took about 3 months and you had only new new and new stuff with even multiple girls. sooo it rly comes down to the next update with a character that didnt had any scenes till now just like roxxy had none before her update, in which direction i think this game will go

they stated its going to be the BIGGEST update, cya in a half year and find out if that will be true

 

[mecha_froggy]

absolute unplayable buggy....u cant skip minigames or make progress with other chars story(earlier builds)..map in livingroom is wrong..it shows night livingroom all the time with the mother even when it is day...cant they dev do something right in his life, there are still (...)iots who still support him with cash...glad i never supportet this..................whats the use of releasing .018 ver when its buggy as F..lol the dev had time almost a year to deliver

I am about to start this update and this doesn't give me hope. Well here we go

I've thought that SS has been a victim of it's own sucess. DC starts this little vanity project to teach himself how to code, and then after the first few months it exploded in popularity. All of a sudden he's got all this money coming in, so he has the money to hire resources to help him make this little project into something big. But there's a case of dimishing returns with that money because there's such a thing as "too many cooks in the kitchen". Especially if he's being picky about getting anyone to try and help with the art and/or project management. I personally think it's fair to think that not giving up control is hurting the project, but I also can't fault DC for not giving up control unless it involves someone whom he considers a perfect match.

Pregnancy causes a lot of issues for me in the game. Lots of errors appear and usure if related but can't progress french class stuff if sister is pregnant.

@Vojvoda Your loss.

Who knows, that might as well be the case.

You can't progress French class period in this update. Has anyone been able to complete Roxy and Bissette's storylines in this version?

People didn't vote for old character overhauls, we where expecting character continuation of the story. A lazy or foolish dev decided it would be an overhaul no player would have preferred over 100% new content.
